Return of Sherlock Holmes (Empty House) jeremy brett / ed alleyne-johnson

Do you remember the first time you watched "The Empty House" and rejoiced in the fact Sherlock was not dead after all? Wasn't it great! I've always loved the tender emotion shown in the episode; I hope this video can capture some of that. Ironically, for me this is the episode which made really notice Jeremy when I was "grown up", as apposed to just being a Sherlock fan when I was a child. I was just so happy he wasn't really dead in the story. I suddenly realized there was just something about him; a connection, an odd feeling of safety/comfort. I really can't explain it. It was much more than the trivial *I fancy him*, it actually wasn't about that kind of attraction. I just dearly wanted to know him personally. :) I know no one is prefect, but I certainly identify with and find encouragement in him. And I'm lucky to have been able to find out far more about him than I thought possible this year (which have shown me a beautiful soul), much thanks to certain sources . Now if only the story's happy ending could be true to life. :'( I love this music, it puts me into such a deep and thoughtful mood. Music is by Ed Alleyne - Johnson, it's called Oxford Suit 4. ***I own nothing!*** Buy the DVDS and CDS! please stop by and sign the petition for release of Jeremy Brett's lesser known work at gopetition.com

    @gypsycyn Thank you! Yes, couldn’t agree more … even my mother was saying just yesterday, Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes, there is no other Jeremy, and he’s not dead he’s just looking down.

  2. gypsycyn says:

    Wonderful emotional video:) I especially felt a great touch of sadness on that very last shot of Jeremy smiling….. This world lost the very best Sherlock Holmes and a beautiful man.

    @rebeccawilde Thanks, I was also blown away when I saw the waterfall scene and I cried when Holmes wants to call Watson, but he couldn’t. You to a happy new year. :-)

    @TetskeG
    Thank you! I remember being blown away by the waterfall scene the first time I ever saw it. So it was a joy to make this video, to capture the great friendship between Holmes and Watson. HAPPY NEW YEAR! :-)

    Wow, this makes me emotional and speechless. Jeremy Brett is the “The Sherlock Holmes” of all-time, and I love it how Holmes helps Watson to recover. And I got shivers when Holmes strikes his hand on Watson’s face and cheek, just a lovely and worthy friendship. You did a splendid job, keep it going. :’-)

    I liked the song you used in this from the moment I heard it. I am so finding the MP3 to this. Great video to, I always loved the scene of Sherlock’s supposed demise and his triumphant return.

    why this oxford suit 4 doesnt sounds like the original? i like alot more the ine u use in your video if you can tell me where u get it it will be great :) thanks

    My God. The music is perfect for this, just miraculously well-suited to all of the expressions and emotions in this scene. I love this adaptation, because we get the privilege of seeing Holmes’ feelings, whereas in the books we only really know what Watson was thinking and feeling. What fantastic characters, what brilliant actors, and what an impassioned and lovely piece of film this is.

    Ho, Oxford Suite

    Beautiful and touching video! I watched the Granada series back when I was a teenager, and I immidiately fell in love with Jeremy Brett’s performance as Sherlock Holmes. He is THE Holmes for me, and yes, he made me wish I were Holmes’ friend in real life too!
    I also love Ed Allyne Johnson’s music, and I am surprised to see you’ve used this piece on a Holmes video, because Ed Allyen’s violin pieces always make me think of Sherlock Holmes and his world!
    Thank you for sharing this amazing clip!

    Ah, my favorite episode. I think this episode, more then the others, shows nearly all of Holmes different facets in one episode. His humor (the book salesman), his compassion (reviving Watson), his tenderness (hugging Mrs Hudson), his righteous anger (nearly clobbering the bad guy at the end)……..should I go on? LOL

    best sherlock ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. alguien1234 says:

    This scene, in Doyle’s short story “The Final Problem” (and in the representation in the series too) always gives me a great desire to cry T_T

    I would like that Doyle loved Holmes instead of hate him.

    Sherlock, return, return. . .Like the music.Music iswhatis left.

    Sherlock, return, return. . .Like the music.

    Love this. The part where Holmes almost cries out to Watson gets me every time :’(

    @death2utubenow
    Thank you. :-) 

  21. death2utubenow says:

    Thank you for this very moving fan made music video. It is a wonderful tribute to the TV show in general and to Jeremy Brett in particular. I am sure, had he been alive today, he would have been deeply touched by such fond regards. Videos like these help keep his memory alive.
    Bravo!

  22. death2utubenow says:

    Thank you for this.
    I fully understand your sentiment.

  23. rebeccawilde says:

    @homosapiensgraecus
    Thank you for your lovely comment. :-)

  24. homosapiensgraecus says:

    What beautiful emotions you are describing, and how shared they are by me and probably so many others. And how beautiful, mood- and thought-provoking song you chose. I felt as lifted as I did the first time I discovered that the Reichenbach Falls were not the end after all!
    I think these emotions are also provoked by Jeremy Brett’s performance. He must have identified with this too.

    @gomegirl3

    I am very pleased to know you like this. I saw the video running through my mind as I listened to the music, then I got straight on the computer and set to work. I had made the video within the hour.
